SUMMARY:Fódhla - Irish music
DESCRIPTION:Fódhla (pronounced “foh-luh”) – Irish music from Portland and Boston \n\n\n\n\nAfter 15 years of performing together and recording on each other’s solo albums\, Portland\, Maine-based flute player Nicole Rabata and Boston-based fiddler Ellery Klein decided a group together was long overdue. With the addition of Bethany Waickman on guitar\, the trio found a sound rooted in the traditional Irish music Ellery and Nicole honed during years abroad in the Irish cities of Cork\, Limerick\, and Ennis. The trio is also influenced by the depths of Nicole’s virtuosic classical music career\, Ellery’s Americana sounds\, and Bethany’s soft-spoken\, yet driving\, guitar playing. \nFódhla have been well received at festivals such as Portland’s Saltwater Festival\, the Maine Celtic Celebration\, and the Boston Celtic Music Festival. Their debut recording\, Notes from Millpond\, was released in December 2015 to a sold-out show at Acoustic Artisans in Portland. \nBios: \nFiddler Ellery Klein brings a style steeped in traditional Irish sounds seasoned with American fiddle styles. She toured with the Billboard-charting Irish music group Gaelic Storm from 2003-2007 and was a founding member of the all-female ensemble Long Time Courting. In 2015 she was invited to be a featured soloist with Duluth\, MN’s Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra\, performing Nickitas Demos’ Double Concert for Celtic and Bluegrass Fiddle. She holds an MA in Traditional Irish Music from the University of Limerick. www.elleryklein.net \nIrish flutist Nicole Rabata is well known for her diverse musical interests including the classical\, Celtic\, and Brazilian choro genres. Holding an International Artist Diploma and Masters Degree in Performance from Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester\, England\, she is on the faculty at Colby College and the University of Maine at Augusta. She spent four years in the west of Ireland immersing herself in traditional music\, and has since traveled as a teacher and performer to Sweden\, India\, Germany\, Italy\, France and the UK. www.nicolerabata.com \nBethany Waickman is a guitarist based out of Portland\, Maine. She grew up in a musical family in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York state. After college she spent some time traveling\, hiking\, and playing music in Ireland. Upon returning\, she moved to Boston to focus on music. She co-founded the contra dance trio\, Anadama\, and is the guitarist for VT-based fiddler/singer Lissa Schneckenburger. She’s toured across the US\, Canada\, Sweden\, Denmark\, Belgium\, and Germany. Bethany moved to Maine in 2013 and has been enjoying the Portland session scene as well as keeping in rotation in the New England contra dance circuit. www.bethanywaickman.com

SUMMARY:Community Event: Concert Across America to End Gun Violence
DESCRIPTION:It’s said that this could be the Woodstock of 2016. (Mike Weisser\, Huffington Post\, 8.23.16). \nOn Sept. 25\, 2016\, the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence will happen at over 150 sites across the country. Portland’s event will be a free concert from noon to 3 pm at Congress Square Park. The Portland event is being sponsored by the Phoenix Chorale\, Portland’s social justice choir. “It is right in line with our mission to change the world through song” comments Dr. Deirdre McClure\, Artistic Director. \nConcert coordinator Betsey Remage-Healey observes that “we’ve had such a string of recent gun tragedies from Orlando to St. Paul to Baton Rouge to Dallas. The Concert is a chance to honor the dead and energize the living. And in Maine\, the cool thing is that we can do something in November with the background check referendum on the ballot.” \nIn addition to the Phoenix Chorale\, performers will include Lyle Divinsky\, Gina Allibrio\, Wes Covey\, Ronda Dale and Portland’s immigrant girls’ choir\, Pihcintu. The concert will be introduced by Mayor Ethan Strimling\, with additional remarks by the mother of a gun murder victim\, Judi Richardson\, and Nick Wilson\, Executive Director of the Maine Gun Safety Coalition. \nThe event is co- sponsored by the Maine Gun Safety Coalition\, Maine Moms Demand Action\, Remembering Darien and the Friends of Congress Square Park. \nBig names are signing on to events in Brooklyn and LA including Jackson Browne\, Rosanne Cash\, Marc Cohn. Don Felder\, Ed Begley Jr.\, Kenny Loggins\, Ryan Cabrera and Sabian Kale. \nFor more information about the national event\, visit concertacrossamerica.org ; also visit the Portland event page at www.facebook.com/CAAportlandme/.
